I think Eldon Square the final blow tbh.
I was talking about the trains there. I believe it's planned for the May 22 timetable changes. It's been on the cards for ages, originally meant to go via Durham and Stillington as it's quicker but there's no paths so they're both now going by the coast.
There's been talk of it being limited stop though to make it quicker assuming missing the likes of Billingham and Seaton Carew which will hit the X9/X10 even more. If they can get it close to an hour.
I still think branding it x lines was a big mistake and should've been its own brand like Greenline down London which is also axing routes aswell and blaming it on the train. Hemel Hempstead just went very recently.
